This paper deals with Riemann problem for one‐dimensional inviscid, isentropic, and perfectly conducting ideal dusty gas flow with a transverse magnetic field. The explicit expressions of elementary waves are derived in terms of the density, velocity, and transverse magnetic induction of an ideal dusty gas flow. The analytical properties of elementary wave curves and the influence of parameter on the elementary waves are discussed. A new approach is proposed to resolve the Riemann problem. By applying this approach, we obtain 10 kinds of exact solutions and their corresponding criteria.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
